Katrina Corcoran Katrina Corcoran idk- who *isn’t* “inspired by the natural world@? Who follows Apartment Therapy and *doesn’t* LOVE “light, texture, and natural color”?! also can she stop being “humbled” by everything? And using words like “embody”? Idk, it’s just- why is she acting like she’s dropping wisdom on us? Also people are dying rn, and I’m over her BLM poster.
As in, I’m over her afterthought virtue signaling decor. everything out of her mouth is 100% rainbows and gold- she’s got the poster tho, so I guess she can keep laughing and offering sage tidbits like she’s the only one who’s ever even thought this stuff before
That apartment is absolutely beautiful and I love her enthusiasm. My only quibble is the open shelving situation. As a Bay Area resident myself, I always have the possibility of earthquakes in the back of my mind. That Le Crueset Dutch oven falling from that top open shelf is the stuff of nightmares!

What a visionary she is the house is a beautiful home and her garden an added bonus. Isn’t it lovely to hear her partner valuing her skills? Awesome job girl🙏
I live in this neighborhood and walk past this house when I go get Mac n Cheese. I have always admired the plants outside their house and the little multicolored chair out front. It’s so cute. Lots of beautiful front yards in North Oakland. The best place to live in the Bay Area.
@@RedSpiralHandTV Corrupt politicians & greedy developers are slowly pushing out ALL middle & lower income folks of all backgrounds. Soon they're going to need that high speed railway to bring workers in from cheaper outlying areas & out of state. The well-to-do folks won't have anyone local to police the cities, teach their children, pick up their trash, run utilities & local services, etc. Housing shortages & high rents are forcing some singles & families to get creative & double up. So sad.😭
Ya it would be frackin great if Apartment Therapy would take a stand on extending the federal eviction moratorium. I doubt they get involved politically, which is grim af but whatever. if ever there was a time tho, right?
The fact that you have laundry, full kitchen and a pantry in that small space is amazing. She should relocate to the East coast to design NY tiny lofts. She'd make a killing.
If you do the math I think it's possible. Say the rooms are 12ft wide and there are basicly 3 living areas - kitchen, living room & bedroom/bathroom. 590 / 12 = 49.16 divide that by 3 = 16.38 ft. So each "area" is aprox. 12 x 16 ft.
This apartment is love personified, i was scrolling on youtube and found this video. I felt so relaxed and energized at the same time after watching this space. Absolutle agreed and loved what michelle said about growing and changing with time. Kudos to her .. would love to meet her someday in person. 🥰😇
The most incredible part of this is how she created enough open space to entertain her friends as if it were a larger home. She obviously recognized the potential with all of the windows adding light to it making it feel roomier. It really has 80% of the features of a larger home.
wow i absolutely love how she’s maximized the space for all her special belongings! this is the kind of cozy, personalized space i’d want to live in. you get a great sense of their personalities and style from their place!! amazing job!
This is how you change a house into a home. This is how a home becomes unique, reflecting the personalities of the people living in it. Absolutely gorgeous! 💕
I love Michelle’s vision and how supportive her partner is. The clothesline is such a beautiful touch. Love the organized pantry and the windowed doors to the bedroom. The projector over the front door made me laugh. The landscaping is beautiful and such an important element to small house living. I’m obsessed with this house!
Besides the beauty of their home, she irradiates such a positive energy, like a genuine peaceful and honest vibe and it shows in every details of this space. Beautiful!
Absolutely love the casual and eclectic aesthetic of this apartment. Also loved the outdoor spaces. And her warm personality and perpetual smile was infectious.
I first watched this when it came out. I honestly adore this wonderful girl and her vibrance and zest for life and creating. This apartment just feels beautiful in every respect. I hope this couple she still together and thriving.
I pressed like as soon as she jumped for that bowl! What a charismatic and warm lady and lovely couple. Beautiful home. The before to after is genius! I love the balcony 😍💚
Mel Diangson did it affect the cost of your place? I live in the country in another state, so I have to be honest, I don’t understand how this happens, but it sounds really unfair. Hope you’re happy in your new home.
Taxes for homeowners and rent prices for renters tend to go up when an area's land value increases. This tends to happen when wealthier people move in to take advantage of less expensive real estate and then do improvements to match their level of wealth. The increased cost of living often causes the gentrifiers' neighbors (who were there first) to have to move because their level of wealth did not increase with the value of the real estate, making living in a gentrified neighborhood financially unsustainable.
Antonia Foster yes, absolutely. People who can definitely afford to live in other areas, will move into “more affordable” areas which drive the prices of homes so high that “regular” people can no longer afford to live there. Example: a tech guy from SF decided he wanted a more humble living and decided to buy a house in this close to this neighborhood and offered 300k over asking (because he could) making sure no one else had a fighting chance. I grew up in the Bay Area and wanted to make it home and raise my kids there but couldn’t. The street in this video brings tears to my eyes...so many memories there.
chrskrpp Thank you for explaining in terms that I can understand. I cannot Imagine being basically pushed out of my home and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.
I so love everything about this video, the home owners the layout of their cosy home, the garden. Just everything. This video is a therapy in itself. Thank you.
This is such a beautiful space! I love the open floor layout for the kitchen and living room. I live in a 750 sq ft apartment with my husband and our dog and somehow it seems much smaller than this couples home lol
What a beautiful home, their use of space is ingenious and really welcoming and the garden is an explosion of colour, it must smell wonderful. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧✌🏻💖💞💓💜❤️💚🤎💙🖤
This is my dream house in small house dreams category. ❤️ There's nothing I want to add or subtract from it. It has ample space for plants and cooking, both of which I love. Cozy small bedroom space adds to the warm feeling. It feels so private and yet so open because of the balcony attached right to it and BOY THE BALCONY is pure happiness. Love Love ❤️❤️
That was amazing. You are such a talent. However one suggestion. In the pantry you have glass jars which are great for storage, except you live in California (earthquake country). Have you thought about mounting a strip of wood a bit higher on the shelf so in case of a quake you won't have tons of broken glass on the floor. Been there done that! You have a beautiful home.
Any million dollar home would love to have that kitchen it’s amazing! I love this apartment so much! When I first saw my space, the previous owners hadn’t bothered to clean it, it was dirty and messy. My brother just kep telling me, look beyond he mess. So I did. But honestly, I hated it when I first got here. But now I love it. It took almost 4 years , but it’s mine now. And I live in San Diego county.
Her:Let me reintroduce you to my biggest fan...Him:yeah...I totally am.........😍 Also love take a box to the charity shop and bring a box back....sounds like a really cool mom
I love the short & snappy filming of this video. You catch glimpses of so many interesting things and remain interested. Other tour guides pause at every tiny common thing, eg.,"this is a glass holder which stores my toothpaste and that tube labelled toothpaste is my toothpaste which I use to brush my teeth".
I have watched this video three times already. Each time I see something else to love. Thank you for posting it because it has helped me to see some new possibilities for my own space.
I watched the whole video with my mouth open. I loved everything about it. I used to live in Oakland and there are some incredible homes and apartments in Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco. I loved the garden and the climbing vines on the building. I loved the way she imagined the space when she first saw it. I loved what they did with all the rooms and how they solved their space problems. I love the deck with the BBQ grill. I loved the pantry. I loved the colors they chose for the rooms. And..she has my name 🙂🙂 You get an A+!!
I am a Bay Area native (707😁) currently living in Dallas TX. Watching this just brought back great memories of walking through Telagraph in Berkeley! I just love the many amazing architecture all throughout the Bay Area an I am so proud to have grown up there an call it HOME! Also, what a great couple, so much warmth an friendliness just radiate through them an their home! Glad you all transformed this place an made it into something so special an unique!
I LOVE IT!!! It is BEAUTIFUL!!! The house! The Gardens with all the plants and flowers! And all the colors! 💖 Girl, You are SOoo TALENTED!!! What a gift you have at remodeling. WoW!! 🙏
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! All of the elements that make a house a home are here: personal collections, books, items collected over many years, vibrancy, points of interest and a couple who clearly adore each other! Thank you for allowing us to peek into your amazing home and to share a special moment with you. Stay safe and healthy everyone!
What a beautiful space you live in, both indoor and out. Your garden took my breath away it was gorgeous and and provides nourishment too ! You are a lovely couple too.
I like to watch all channels about designing smaller spaces, and I never came across a Home more beautiful and smartly organized than this one. I come back to watch it over and over again...
The couple is adorable, and the house looks so big, it's perfectly designed and spacious, beautiful, love it. One of the best I've seen of that size, great kitchen and garden too.
Her place looks amazing! So spacious and well decorated! It looks much larger than 590 sq.ft.! I loved the way that she switched out the kitchen! Wise choice!
I’m in love with this apartment, the layout the light and openness. Love the honeysuckle and wow....just everything. Thank you for showing us your beautiful home 💕
This was a very inspiring video. While she didn't go through each and every detail, fortunately the video captured most of it. I especially love the coffee table and her vision for the apartment. I agree with her sentiments on gardening and nature.
This place was the best place best apartment tour I have ever seen. I hope this couple is still there with all they put into it. It was not mentioned if they own the place being that they gutted it. Like a condo you own usually apartments you rent. I miss living in California so much. I lived in a very old apartment from October 2000 to the last day in Sept 2019 and it did not have much character but it did have a nice kitchen and 2 walk in closets and 2 normal closets. I faced the fountain and the balcony was the length of the kitchen and dining area. The entire apt was 1100 square feet. It was min from DC and min from Old Town Alexandria, VA . Often if a one bedroom was not avail to show they would show mine with a few modern pieces but mostly antique. I had gallery walls thru out. I wrote to Country Living and Better Homes Magazines often as so many said I should be in a magazine. Neither magazine ever sent me a note even saying "nay". I had large pots and grew my own vegetables too. Their loss because I think a cool story coukd have been done on my place. I live all your apartment tours but this has to be my favorite. The couple is so cool especially the woman. She reminds me of my friend Rachel. I wish them well. Sincerely, Rebekah in Arlington, VA
OMG, that kitchen!!! ❤😍❤ I'm in love! lol So clever of her to change the use of space in the house. Having a non-convertible bed behind closed doors is so much nicer IMO if you have the room for it. Adore the garden, too! Kudos!❤
Your joy and enthusiasm (and your partner’s) are contagious! What a beautiful space you two have made. I live in New York City so I’m pretty adept at squeezing the most out of small spaces-but this video is a master class. Thanks for sharing guys, and best from here!
They absolutely used this space to it's best advantage. I love the layout and the openess and brightness! The fridge in the murphy bed nook is so smart. The balcony situation looks awesome too. I also LOVE that they have a clothes line!
This is amazing! What's very relatable is these are people who have things, lots of things - who cook, read, collect, LIVE - not that bogus minimalist/Marie Kondo crap.Well-deserved win.
If she did that to a small apartment, imagine what she can do to a full house! Michelle has amazing designing skills, what an awesome home!
Right!
You've said it best. Totally lovely❤️
I noticed her philosophy on life more than the apartment. I could watch it again just to listen to her positivity!

Yeah. She's got a gem of a man. It's hard to find someone who is supportive and not intimidated.
This home is beautiful and looks so much bigger than the sq footage. She has done so well with the space and they are a lovely couple.

I wouldn't wish that move on anyone these days. Yikes.
Wow your so right!!
590 sq ft??? There's no way. It looks bigger!
On the move, yeah, I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around that and I was a designer for CA Closets and am used to visualizing spaces.
On the move They seemed to use the wide angle lens a lot.
590 is big but yeah it looks bigger than that, plus there is a garden and porch. I saw her on upper floor
There is no way this is 590 sq ft. The video title is cheating.
If you do the math I think it's possible. Say the rooms are 12ft wide and there are basicly 3 living areas - kitchen, living room & bedroom/bathroom. 590 / 12 = 49.16 divide that by 3 = 16.38 ft. So each "area" is aprox. 12 x 16 ft.

OMG, that kitchen!!! ❤😍❤ I'm in love! lol So clever of her to change the use of space in the house. Having a non-convertible bed behind closed doors is so much nicer IMO if you have the room for it. Adore the garden, too! Kudos!❤
Your joy and enthusiasm (and your partner’s) are contagious! What a beautiful space you two have made. I live in New York City so I’m pretty adept at squeezing the most out of small spaces-but this video is a master class. Thanks for sharing guys, and best from here!
She seems so cool, wise and chill at the same time.
amazing space, I love that you have Australian Native Plants in your garden!
They absolutely used this space to it's best advantage. I love the layout and the openess and brightness! The fridge in the murphy bed nook is so smart. The balcony situation looks awesome too. I also LOVE that they have a clothes line!
We need more Michelles. What a good attitude!
What a beautiful light, airy space. It seems so much larger than the square footage suggests. ❤️❤️
Beautiful people in a beautiful house!
As I keep on looking at simple designs like the minimalistic Japanese homes, this is the one that feels cozy, inviting, and alive.
My favorite. I rewatch way too often
Me tooooooooo
Your home is beautiful, nice layout and just love everything about it. You did a wonderful job, it's perfect.
This not only apartment/home inspo but it’s a beautiful lesson for our lives. Thank you 😊 xx
Absolutely the very best small space I've ever seen! Nothing looks crowded, or awkward.....perfect, just perfect! Thanks for sharing. G.
This is amazing! What's very relatable is these are people who have things, lots of things - who cook, read, collect, LIVE - not that bogus minimalist/Marie Kondo crap.Well-deserved win.
